May 12th Sermon ~ “Jesus-Savior and Lord”  (Philippians 2:8-11)

We believe in Jesus.  But what do we believe about Jesus?  There are two titles that must be acknowledged in our lives about him, Savior and Lord.  We don’t use those titles much today so what do they mean?  Let’s see this Sunday.

 

“And being found in appearance as a man, he humbled himself by becoming obedient to death-even death on a cross! Therefore God exalted him to the highest place and gave him the name that is above every name, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue acknowledge that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.”  (Philippians 2:8-11)

Pender ReGift Thrift Shop Volunteers

Hello!

Thank you for your interest in Pender ReGift Thrift Store—a ministry of Pender United Methodist Church.  We are a non-profit extension of Pender’s Outreach Center ministry which assists many individuals and families in need of a helping hand.

We sell donated goods from our Outreach Center drop-offs and pick-ups, and also from a junk removal company that provides us better quality furniture, electronics, and other items: 123Junk is a company that minimizes what goes into the landfill helping us to recycle and reuse unwanted items.

Working with Fairfax County, Western Fairfax Christian Ministries, and other programs Pender’s Outreach Center ministry provides clothing, furniture, kitchen and household items free of charge to those in need.  Through our Thrift Store, Flea Market, and Boutique sales we are able to support Pender individuals desiring to make disciples of Jesus Christ through short-term mission trips both domestically and internationally.

If you haven’t already visited the store/warehouse please come out, take a look around, and discover how you might help our ministry.  Our hours are 11am – 7pm Monday thru Thursday, and 10am-6pm Friday and Saturday. 

We have opportunities in volunteer coordination, sales, cashiering, pricing, sorting, furniture pickups and deliveries.  I’d also be happy to tell you everything you would like to know about our activity and facility, please let me know! Please come out at any time for however long you can.

Currently we are looking for two long-term volunteers, with specific (yet flexible) assignments:

  • Electronics Expert to evalutate and price electronics
  • Furniture Repair Trainee; Miss Ruth is willing to teach you!

Help Wanted!

volunteers

  • After shopping at the Flea Market and Boutique Saturday, please stay and help us put everything away.  Our volunteers will greatly appreciate it, and remember…many hands make light work!  Cleanup begins at noon on Saturday.
  • Our Fellowship Time Committee is looking for more volunteers so this ministry can continue to serve our Pender Church family and visitors.  If you are a member of a group, please discuss a time that your group can take a Sunday and sponsor Fellowship Time. The more hands to serve, the easier it becomes. A sign will be posted to display the group’s name to encourage membership in the group.  If your group has an upcoming event, this could be a way to advertise your event – signs can be posted during Fellowship Time.  Contact Lisa Bryda for details here
